Seems fitting to go out with a whimper missing easy shots and free throws Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And no block out. Another example of not doing the small things necessary to win Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And now 4-11 at the line Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And not because we're not getting good looks. So many easy misses. We just consistently don't make the plays necessary to win Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Such terrible defense. Getting completely broken down off the dribble. Terrible hedge from Race right after missing a gimme Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Missed a wide open bunny at the rim and a wide open 3. We shoot ourselves in the foot so often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was fun. Did you all see Archie? Screaming at Rob to push the pace. Hopefully they can keep the energy up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What was Trayce doing? Unnecessary double leaves Johnson wide open Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These offensive sets are atrocious. We're down to the end of the shot clock on most possessions and not getting good looks Not that we've had a great offense all year, but looks extra vanilla tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think that was Rabjohns Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, I think having Aaron Henry in the starting lineup over Durham would have made a massive difference this year. Archie has his issues as a coach, but the biggest issue is that there are 2 starting guards who likely wouldn't start at any other school. Replace Rob and Al with McKinley Wright and Henry, and things look a lot different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there anything behind the idea that Brooks and/or Henry could come to IU other than pure speculation? I guess I could understand Brooks with UK being a bit of a mess, but I don't know why Henry would leave MSU for his senior season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Archie deserves plenty of criticism for his coaching, but at a certain point this is on the players. I don't know what any coach can do if a team consistently bricks wide open 3s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How was that not a kick? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think we're 2-26 on 3s the last 2 games Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's a QB stat called completion percentage over expected that measures how accurate a QB is compared to what you'd expect on average based on his passes. It would be fascinating to see a similar stat in basketball to measure FG% over expectation. I would guess IU would be one of the lowest scoring teams. We miss so many open 3s and shots in the paint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few thoughts... It's been mentioned that the IU program is a train wreck, so why would a good coach want to come here? I know the situations are different, but UK was probably in just as bad a spot before they hired Calipari. There's no doubt that this year has been disappointing, but there's good talent on the team, and a lot of the young guys appear to have bright futures. If the coach can keep the 2021 recruiting class, he'd also be bringing in a strong 4* big man and a shooting guard who's ready to contribute right away. This does not need to be a long turnaround. Archie deserves plenty of criticism, but IMO he would be leaving his successor a better situation than the one he inherited. On Fife, would he bring Emoni Bates :). None of us obviously know much about Fife's coaching acumen, ability to build a program, etc. But if the interviews make them comfortable with those pieces, then I'm fine taking a risk on an unproven coach. There are only a few truly difference making coaches that give their teams a chance to win a championship in college basketball, and I'd much rather take a risk on either a top assistant or a successful young mid-level coach to try to find that guy than settle for a candidate with a proven track record that is likely good, but not great. I want to aim at Big 10 and national championships, not just consistent top 25 seasons. If we can get Beard, Stevens, or Bennett, then you take those guys no question. But otherwise I'm happy with a less well-known candidate that brings some upside.

Not going to win many when your best player has a bad game and you go 2-19 from 3 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We airball a wide open 3, and they get a garbage roll on a 3. Brutal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hunter is playing hard on defense, but he is so undisciplined in post defense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think they're up to the challenge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Refs all bet the over and getting both teams into the bonus early Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What are these refs doing?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On a lot of Rob's catch and shoot 3s, he just goes up from where he catches it instead of loading up and shooting. It often looks unnatural. His shot looks a lot better off the dribble because he gets the ball in the right position. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the worst reffed game I can remember. On both sides Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
